@Nice to Michu

I don’t think Nice to Michu is a player in an Italian team is he? lol.

Ambition is critical

Sorry, too enigmatic for me?
I don’t know what that means in this context.

To play for an Italian team

I think the statements about a 'wow' signing came from the main man on the other site,who no doubt got it from someone allegedly 'in the know'.
Always amazes me how those among us with all embracing insight into players around the world can't wait to rubbish players whose names appear ,generally I suspect ,without seeing the player kick a ball.I find myself in that position of ignorance, so tend to hold my tongue.
I have to admit that I did once have a few lines printed in the Evening Post with negative comments about the bad habits within the Swans midfield of the time, which in my opinion wasn't performing competively enough.Of course in those days your name and part of your address was published with you letter so one ran the risk of running into Herbie or Geoff Thomas in town, quite different to now .
At the moment judging by the recent signings those at the Club seem to know their business and I'm hopeful that any further signings will be improvements for the squad./

I think Guebbels was going to be the wow signing and it sounds like we were fairly close to getting him

Taking our eyes off the incomings for one moment.

What are we expecting with outgoings, we expecting Vipotnik out the door?

Back to it, Idah with Vipotnik(if he stays) would be an half decent 2 to have at this level.

Still think we want 2 strikers with Vip out, he wants to be a starter.

So looking at things, let's assume.

Idah will be the striker that we have needed all summer.

Vipotnik off, we need to replace him then......Nigerian MLS striker in?

Still leaves us looking for a left sided defender. I think the Striker search becomes such a task that it puts a new winger on the back burner.

Busy few days coming up for the club.

Do think we should have gone all out for a new RW I like Ronald can’t fault his effort or commitment but he’s not very good, he doesn’t like to take on players, we need someone who can easily take people on.

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

With outgoings, it's easy to say who we'd expect to leave. Vip if we get a striker in.
If Cullen then drops to the no 10, then maybe Ollie Cooper?
We all expected Fulton to go but we saw on Tuesday that Sheehan clearly sees him as squad filler.
But it all comes down to if there's even any interest in them.

 

[SwanseaJack]

Seen a few people have now mentioned a package deal of 5.5 million. Seems about right value wise given who we have supposedly targeted up top so far. Hope a lot of that is add ons with little up front...

 

[sit_down_jack]

If it’s that much for Idah then that is a massive overpay. As much as I think he suits what we need, I would never pay that when Celtic paid over the odds for him in the first place.

I can’t see us shelling out that much anyway.

Celtic paid 9 million maybe a tad to much but if we are getting him at half that and the fee spread over the contract it's not that a bad deal

Big big gamble

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

Think all of the striker chat is also taking our eye off the ball with other positions. We still have one senior player able to play left back, and only one full-time right back. If we don't get cover for Tymon, a lot of this window will have been for nothing
